Samsung NX210 has a
20.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.7 mm ) sized CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Canon 100D has a
18.0MP APS-C (22.3 x 14.9 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Digic 5 processor.
Below you can see the NX210 and 100D sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Samsung NX210 and Canon 100D Cameras
As seen above, Samsung NX210 has a 1.1x Larger sensor area than Canon 100D. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.
DxOMark Sensor Scores
Both Samsung NX210 and Canon 100D sensors have been tested by DxoMark. DxoMark scores camera sensors for color depth (DXO Portrait), dynamic range (DXO Landscape) and low-light sensitivity (DXO Sports), and also gives them an overall score. Of the two cameras that we are comparing, NX210 has scored 71, 8 points higher than 100D.

Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Samsung NX210
or the
Canon 100D ,
including hyperfocal distance.
